Editors' Review

This program is incredibly useful for translating documents from Spanish to English. The @promt Professional Translator can translate documents quickly and fairly accurately. A split program window displays the original document on one side and the translated text on the other for comparison. During testing, we were able to translate a 50-page document in under five minutes. Though the translation wasn't perfect, it was sufficient for even more complicated, technical documents. You can enhance the program in a number of ways, by adding dictionaries, other topic templates, or custom translation rules. The program also can be programmed to leave unedited URLs, e-mail addresses, and other words or phrases that don't require translation. You also can add third-party dictionaries or spelling checkers. Overall, this is a robust and reliable translator for academics and professionals alike.

I recently moved to Panama from Canada. I don't speak the language very well and I definitely needed work on my writing. This program not only helped with with translations, but also helped me to communicate with others. I have been using it with people I meet. They type and hit translate and then I type a reply and hit translate. It has even helped with my love life. The guy I have been dating does not speak English. But the both of us are able to communicate with this program. I had tried a number of other programs before this one. This one was the best at actually translating what I was trying to say verses just just swapping english words for spanish ones - thus making the translations unreadable. I would definitely recommend it.

Cons

The pro version is better than the office version, but the pro version is rather expensive. If it was less money, I would put it on every computer in my office. But as it stands, you have to have a license for each computer. Gets rather costly since I would like to install it on about 10 computers to start (including my personal one).
